Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

If Vanunu is no longer a threat to Israeli security as was pointed out by one of their chief nuclear physisists, then the only threat he poses is the possibility he may have, to expose the Israeli government for their corruption and inhumane treatment of one who offered his life in incarceration to highlight the fact that Israel had become a nuclear nation.
The political criminals opperate within the laws they create allowing their continnued corruption, as those who speak truth are criminalised by the same corrupt system.
Release Vanunu Now.
The new e-mail address for Mordechai is vanunuvmjc@gmail.com
His appeal is on this Tuesday July 8th.
The District Court of East Jerusalem heard Mordechai's appeal against the six month sentence today.
The sentence had been imposed on him for speaking to foreign journalists.
The three judges heard his lawyers arguments' with some openness and some sympathy but their verdict will come in September, says an e-mail from Mordechai
The court hearing was attended by many supporters and friends,from Israel ,Norway, peace activists, Christian PeacemakersTeam, his priest from the Redeemer church and journalists. His lawyers were,Avigdor Feldman, Michael Sfard,and Tomer,
Mordechai's next visit to the Courts will be to the Supreme Court where he will challenge the State's renewal of all the restrictions on his freedomwhich are now in their fifth year. This hearing will take place in the coming months.
Mordechai thanks all his supporters and continues to hope that he will one day be free again - after 22 years in all kinds of captivity.
During the sixties we sent millions of signatures on tens of thousands of petiions to the Canadian government and world governments for a political resolution of the necessity to dismantle the worlds' nuclear weapons. Upon recieving the two million signatures from Canadians to the Ottawa bourgeois government, they promptly put the names to the RCMP, and they put those names on a security list and suppressed the entire movermnet for nuclear disarmament. Then they acquired Bomarc Missiles with nuclear warheads as national security. They falsely claimed they thusly were protecting 'National Security". Pray tell me how in the world of the living is a weapon that Kills plants, animals, peoples, air, land, and water equally on use is national security. In fact the first man to order nuclear weapons on the missile tips was Hitler of Nazis Germany, and guess what folks, Werner von Braun who headed the missle programe in Nazis Germany and under Hitler could not then, because of the anti-fascist front fight at the time, but when captured by the U.S. Imperialists in 1945, he then was brought to America and hired to do just what Hitler had ordered him to do. He put nuclear weapons on the U.S. Imperialist missiles, the programe of which he was hired to head and paid to do. We in the nuclear disarmament movement throughout the world are still suffering for our resistence to aggressive Nuclear War Preparations by the worlds Imperialist Governments amd these nuclear weapons of mass destruction are still just as illegal and still the most dangerous weapons in the world. The fact is Vanunu is a hero and a comrade who resists all nuclear weapons and opposes their use for any reason. He is upholding the anti-fascist resistence and deserves to be set free from Israel which is holding him despite the anti-fascist traditions and rules of the Geneva Conventions of war. Workers of the world, unite. Set Vanunu free. The Peoples Republic of China agrees with a political meeting of all nuclear weapons countries to put one item on the agenda, the complete thorough total dismantling of all nuclear weapons. That is their political foreign policy and they intend to do so. They only acquired the knowledge of nuclear weapons for the sole purpose of dismantling them globally. That is the CPC's line in the world.
